For the Love of Paws Animal Rescue is a foster-based non-profit animal rescue organization based in Windsor, Ottawa Ontario.

We were founded in December 2012 and since then, we’ve rescued dogs that have been abandoned, abused, and neglected. We work with other animal shelters as they call upon us to rescue dogs that do not stand a chance of survival in the shelter, providing medical care, including spay/neuter, and placing the dogs in suitable, safe, and permanent homes.

By working with a group of committed volunteers, foster homes and our own veterinarian, Dr. Ajay Kaler of Central Animal Hospital, we help to facilitate the placement of animals while providing them with loving, temporary care, and to find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes.

For the Love of Paws relies completely on the generosity of the local community to provide donations, both financial and in-kind, and volunteers. We do not receive any government funding at this time.
Dogs that we rescue from the shelters are housed in volunteer foster homes until an appropriate home has been found.

For the Love of Paws is committed to every animal that we rescue. We do not euthanize animals because they have been with us too long or for medical reasons. If, for any reason, an adopter is no longer able to keep their adopted animal, we are committed to bringing it back into our adoption program.
